Coaching and Mentoring: Empowering Individual and Team Growth

360° Feedback and Surveys are comprehensive assessment tools designed to gather insights on an individual’s performance, behavior, and competencies from multiple perspectives. This approach involves feedback from peers, subordinates, supervisors, and even self-assessments, providing a well-rounded view of strengths and areas for development. By utilizing 360° feedback, organizations can support behavioral and functional growth, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
